Abstract: A power supply suppression circuit (10), a chip and a communication terminal that only achieve the enhancement of the power supply suppression capability from an AC, without generating additional circuit power consumption. The power supply suppression circuit (10) comprises a sampling unit (105), a compensation unit (106), and an amplification unit (107). The sampling unit (105) is connected to the compensation unit (106), and the compensation unit (106) is connected to the amplification unit (107). The power supply suppression circuit (10) obtains an AC signal from a preset sampling node position of a low dropout regulator, and generates an enhancement signal in phase with the AC signal on a power supply (Vdd) on the basis of the AC signal, such that the input end voltage of the power output stage of the low dropout regulator immediately follows the voltage change of the power supply (Vdd).

Abstract: A computing device obtains an image depicting an image of a user's face. The computing device identifies one or more regions in the image depicting skin of the user and generates a skin mask. A skin tone of the user's face is predicted and the skin mask is populated according to the predicted skin tone. The computing device defines feature points corresponding to facial features on the user's face and extracts pre-defined facial patterns matching facial features depicted in the image. The extracted pre-defined facial patterns are inserted into the skin mask based on the feature points and a hair mask identifying one or more regions depicting hair of the user is generated. The computing device extracts a hair region depicted in the image of the user based on the hair mask and inserts the hair region on top of the skin mask to generate a face chart.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a highly reliable implantable device of an implantable biological sensor. Before use, the fixed seat cannot move relative to the slidable seat, achieving reliable transportation. In use, the lower end face of the slidable seat is pressed against the skin; the lower end face of the first snap-fit protrusion squeezes the upper end face of the vertical snap-fit plate; the first snap-fit protrusion is gradually away from the support of the vertical snap-fit plate, whereby the inside vertical face of the vertical snap-fit plate pushes the first snap-fit protrusion inward, and the fixed seat moves downward relative to the slidable seat, achieving good controllability.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cytokine-based bioactivatable drug construct (“VitoKine”) platform that aims to reduce systemic mechanism-based toxicities and lead to broader therapeutic utility for proteins and cytokines such as IL-15 and IL-2 for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, viral infection, transplantation and various other disorders. The novel VitoKine constructs of the present invention comprise: 1) a tissue or disease site targeting moiety D1 domain (“D1”), 2) a bioactivatable moiety D2 domain (“D2”), and a concealing moiety D3 domain (“D3”). Importantly, because the “active moiety” of the VitoKine construct will remain inert until activated locally by proteases that are upregulated in diseased tissues, this will limit binding of the active moiety to the receptors or to the targets in the peripheral or on the cell-surface of non-diseased cells and tissue to prevent over-activation of the pathway and reduce undesirable “on-target” “off tissue” toxicities.
